***A Stunningly Reimagined Cornish Coastal Cottage in the Heart of Penryn***

West Street is a truly exceptional character cottage, beautifully reimagined and completely renovated to an exacting standard. This is a home where classic Cornish charm meets contemporary, quirky design, resulting in a space that feels both timeless and refreshingly modern.

Original features have been carefully celebrated throughout, with charming glimpses of the cottage’s heritage at every turn — from the incredible wooden staircase and window seat, to the stained glass door, exposed floorboards, Belfast sink and thoughtful cottage accents that give the home real soul. These period details are perfectly balanced with a stylish, design-led finish that elevates the property well beyond the ordinary.

Immaculately presented, this is a home where every inch has been intelligently considered and maximised, creating a surprisingly spacious feel that is light, airy and beautifully practical. The layout flows effortlessly, with a separate lounge, a well-designed kitchen, and a dedicated dining space set within the rear ground floor extension — ideal for entertaining or relaxed everyday living.

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Penryn, West Street puts you right in the middle of one of Cornwall’s most creative and vibrant communities. Penryn is known for its independent cafés, artisan bakeries, galleries, pubs and waterfront walks, offering a cool, laid-back lifestyle with a strong sense of community. From morning coffee by the harbour to evenings spent in cosy pubs or live-music venues, everything you need is quite literally on your doorstep.

Outside, the property continues to impress with a private sun-terrace lounge area and an enclosed, level garden that feels like a hidden retreat. Lush with mature ferns and bamboo, the garden pathway leads to a secluded wooden seating area - a true secret-garden escape in the middle of town.

Quite simply, this cottage is stunning — a rare blend of character, creativity and comfort, finished to an impeccable standard and ready to be enjoyed from day one.

Property Tour:

Step through the front door into a warm and welcoming porch — the perfect spot to hang coats and kick off sandy shoes after a coastal walk. A beautiful internal door with a stunning stained-glass panel sets the tone immediately, opening into what is truly the heart of the home.

The lounge is exceptional — wonderfully spacious and light-filled, yet with a subtle, cosy atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. A striking log burner with feature wooden fireplace takes centre stage, creating the perfect setting for winter evenings after a day at the beach. Contemporary touches blend effortlessly with classic cottage charm, enhanced by beautiful herringbone flooring, giving the room both elegance and warmth.

To the rear of the lounge, the gorgeous wooden staircase ascends to the first floor, showcasing white twisted spindles, natural antique pine treads and a matching handrail — a real statement feature that celebrates the cottage’s heritage.

Flowing seamlessly from the lounge, the kitchen is light, airy and perfectly proportioned, finished to an exceptional standard. Navy shaker-style units sit beautifully alongside white worktops, integrated appliances and ample cupboard space. The breakfast bar provides an ideal spot for casual dining, while the sink enjoys pleasant views over the rear garden — a lovely balance of modern living with traditional character.

At the rear of the property, the ground floor extension dining room is a superb addition. Flooded with natural light from its dual-aspect windows and patio doors, this space opens directly onto the sun terrace, making it an ideal setting for entertaining. Whether hosting friends or enjoying a relaxed evening with a glass of something chilled, this room effortlessly connects indoor and outdoor living.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing continues the character theme, complete with charming original floorboards. The first double bedroom enjoys a peaceful outlook over the rear garden, offering a tranquil, light-filled retreat that feels both spacious and calming.

The bathroom is nothing short of showstopping — a true design statement. Featuring a striking black grid shower screen, a vanity unit with pink basin and rose-gold tap, alongside a black leaning towel rail, this is a space that combines bold contemporary style with refined elegance.

The second bedroom is another generous double, currently doubling as a home office. Morning sunlight filters through the shutters, casting a soft glow across the room. Quiet, serene and versatile, it feels like a genuine sanctuary.

Outside, the rear garden is a hidden gem — a true secret garden. Enclosed and private, it offers a wonderfully tranquil escape, filled with mature planting including lush ferns and bamboo that create a sense of seclusion and calm. A pathway winds gently down to a secluded wooden seating area, while the sun terrace closer to the house provides an ideal space for lounging or dining outdoors. It’s a garden that feels unexpectedly peaceful for such a central location.

This quintessential Cornish character cottage, enhanced by a stunning modern twist, offers remarkable versatility. Whether as a beautiful permanent home, a long-term rental, or an attractive holiday let, its prime position in Penryn — close to the town’s amenities and the South Coast beaches — makes it a truly compelling opportunity.

Stunning beaches, sheltered coves and scenic coastal paths are all just a short drive away, making spontaneous sea swims, paddleboarding or sunny walks part of everyday life. With Falmouth’s vibrant marina, beaches and cultural scene close by, and Truro’s shopping, dining and cathedral city appeal within easy reach, Penryn sits perfectly between coast and city.
